Title: Carousel: commenting error, render bug Last modified: January 24, 2019 --- # Carousel: commenting error, render bug * Resolved [Alexander S. Kunz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antermoia/) * (@antermoia) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/carousel-commenting-error-render-bug/) * Hello, * I’m having problems with Carousel: * 1. trying to leave a comment in slideshow view results in an error message, displayed in red: “An error has occured. Please try again later.” – commenting on the site works otherwise (including commenting on “attachments”) * 2. when scrolling down to reveal the comment box, the “underlying” blog post appears behind the comment boxes. * I tried this with Firefox, Opera (Chromium) and Internet Explorer, and the result is the same in all three browsers. * Here’s an example URL: [https://www.alex-kunz.com/signs-of-life-1-2019/#jp-carousel-22046](https://www.alex-kunz.com/signs-of-life-1-2019/#jp-carousel-22046) * Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Alexander. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcarousel-commenting-error-render-bug%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Contributor [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/carousel-commenting-error-render-bug/#post-11128397) * Wow, that is incredibly weird. * Do you see the same problem under the Twenty Nineteen theme? * If you can install plugins, install [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/). On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal visitors to your site**. * Thread Starter [Alexander S.

In addition, captions do not appear and descriptions are extremely difficult to read due to the lack of an opaque background behind the text. * Google Chrome’s Console reveals the following errors at the following page: [http://cryologger.org/wp/gallery/#jp-carousel-181](http://cryologger.org/wp/gallery/#jp-carousel-181) * GET [http://cryologger.org/wp/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=get_attachment_comments&nonce=7accceb363&id=181&offset=0](http://cryologger.org/wp/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=get_attachment_comments&nonce=7accceb363&id=181&offset=0) 400 (Bad Request) * Comment get fail… jetpack-carousel.min.js:4 {readyState: 4, getResponseHeader: ƒ, getAllResponseHeaders: ƒ, setRequestHeader: ƒ, overrideMimeType: ƒ, …}abort: ƒ (a)always: ƒ ()complete: ƒ ()done: ƒ ()error: ƒ ()fail: ƒ ()getAllResponseHeaders: ƒ ()getResponseHeader: ƒ (a)overrideMimeType: ƒ (a)pipe: ƒ ()progress: ƒ ()promise: ƒ (a)readyState: 4responseJSON: 0responseText: “0”setRequestHeader: ƒ (a,b)state: ƒ ()status: 400statusCode: ƒ (a)statusText: “Bad Request”success: ƒ ()then: ƒ() __proto__: Object error Bad Request * Cheers, Adam * Plugin Contributor [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/carousel-commenting-error-render-bug/#post-11132293) * That’s very odd, I’m not running into this problem on my own site and tests sites, which are all running the Twenty Nineteen theme. * Would you please try the Health Check plugin’s Troubleshooting Mode again to also rule-out the other plugins? * Thread Starter [Alexander S.

Health Check, Troubleshooting Mode, 2019 Theme, only enabled plugin is Jetpack (obviously). Same result. * Screenshot: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/lh7aytls8xyvgrm/Screenshot%202019-01-25%2014.43.36.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/lh7aytls8xyvgrm/Screenshot%202019-01-25%2014.43.36.png?dl=0) * Thank you for looking into it Alex. * [wirlcarleton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wirlcarleton/) * (@wirlcarleton) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/carousel-commenting-error-render-bug/#post-11132484) * Hi James, * I’m afraid I had the same result. Aside from Jetpack, the only other plugins I had on this new installation were Akismet Anti-Spam and Contact Form 7, which I disabled. * Captions aren’t showing up in any of the other default themes and the description still seems to be floating awkwardly above the page in the background. * Screenshot: [https://i.imgur.com/mjG8hmS.png](https://i.imgur.com/mjG8hmS.png) * PHP is 5.6.39 while Health Check recommends 7.2+. Could that be at all to blame? * Thanks for looking into this for us! * Cheers, Adam * Thread Starter [Alexander S.
